Directions: Use this worksheet to record your answers to the questions or problems
for the Divide Whole Numbers and Decimals Portfolio. When you are finished, save
this worksheet with your answers and submit it for a portfolio grade.
For this portfolio, you will need to create four division problems. Each problem must
meet a set of conditions. These conditions are described below. Write an explanation
of how you created each of the problems to meet all of its conditions. Be sure to use
correct math vocabulary (terms like dividend, divisor, and quotient) when you share
your reasoning. Then solve each of the problems you created.
Use the standard algorithm for division:
1. Create a division problem where the divisor, the dividend, and the quotient are
multi-digit whole numbers.
a. Write the division problem you have created to meet the conditions shown for
question 1.
b. Write an explanation of how you created the problem to meet all of the
conditions, using correct math vocabulary.
c. Solve the problem you created for question 1, using the standard algorithm
for division.
2. Create a division problem where the divisor is a whole number and the dividend
is a decimal. The quotient must be greater than 5 but less than 6.
a. Write the division problem you have created to meet the conditions shown for
question 2.
b. Write an explanation of how you created the problem to meet all of the
conditions, using correct math vocabulary.
c. Solve the problem you created for question 2, using the standard algorithm
for division.
3. Create a division problem where the divisor is a decimal and the dividend is a
whole number. The quotient must be greater than 10 but less than 11.
a. Write the division problem you have created to meet the conditions shown for
question 3.
b. Write an explanation of how you created the problem to meet all of the
conditions, using correct math vocabulary.
c. Solve the problem you created for question 3, using the standard algorithm
for division.
4. Create a division problem where both the divisor and the dividend are decimals.
The quotient must be a whole number greater than 1.
a. Write the division problem you have created to meet the conditions shown for
question 4.
b. Write an explanation of how you created the problem to meet all of the
conditions, using correct math vocabulary.
c. Solve the problem you created for question 4, using the standard algorithm
for division.
